| Notes: (1) Statistical process 1 (Accumulation) does not change units. It is recommended to use another parameter with "rate" in its name and accumulation in PDT. (2) Spatially analyzed quality indicator, according to Opera II (Holleman I., Michelson D., Galli G., Germann U., and Peura M., 2006: Quality information for radars and radar data. OPERA II deliverable OPERA_2005_19), normalized to between 0 (poorest quality) to 1 (best quality). |
